Abstract

An important Russian strategic disinformation campaign, early in the Ukrainian war, contended that the United States was involved in clandestine biological weapons development in Ukraine under the sign “biolabs.” Depending on the platform, the propaganda messaging appeared differently. This study uses a multi-modal approach, featuring Image Plotting, to study the waves of messaging related involved in the biolabs campaign including both the qualitative analysis of text and the analysis of the images. Each platform includes a clear visual and textual strategy which align with known Russian strategies and multi-modal campaign operations.

将消息与平台进行战略匹配：Instagram、Facebook和Reddit上的“Biolabs”案例

在乌克兰战争初期，俄罗斯发起了一场重要的战略造谣活动，声称美国参与了乌克兰的秘密生物武器开发，代号为“biolabs”。根据不同的平台，宣传信息呈现出不同的形式。本研究采用多模态方法，以图像绘制为特色，研究生物实验室活动中涉及的信息浪潮，包括文本的定性分析和图像的分析。每个平台都包含一个清晰的视觉和文本战略，与已知的俄罗斯战略和多模式战役操作保持一致。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
